So here are the objectives of the playing card games:
Identifying the sounds and the syllables
Identifying and reading syllables and words

Our young generations of students are worried about the environment and global warming. I have designed this resource with my class of teenagers in mind who are eager to know more about the issue.
I would suggest you use it with a group of intermediate/advanced students. It can also be quite handy for complete French speakers.
You can use these speaking cards as a starter to check how much they know about the topic and you can also get them engaged in mini-debates.
The 45 cards are differentiated in terms of levels (15 green easy cards, 15 orange medium level cards and 15 red harder cards) to provide some differentiation.
You can use them as such in small groups or pairs of students or you can use the mini-game provided.
A good pair of scissors, a laminator and here you go!
